2 The growing popularity of the Botanic Gardens Glider Service has prompted an expansion of its weekday service. Following a satisfying year of solid growth for the Glider in 2024, The Friends of the Botanic Gardens have decided to add two extra tours to the weekday schedule from the beginning of March, with the 8-seater electric people mover then operating each Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday at 9:30 and 10:45. The expanded weekday services will replace the previously scheduled Saturday runs, however weekend tours can still be arranged by appointment. Our passenger feedback indicated a definite preference for scheduled tours on weekdays, although the Glider service is available for specially arranged tours any time outside our set timetable. These tours have already proven to be extremely popular with visiting groups from aged care facilities, service and social clubs and retirement villages. We have found that our ability to specially tailor tours to fit in with group numbers and schedules has resulted in multiple repeat bookings which open up the botanic gardens experience to a wider number of their members. The Botanic Gardens Glider Tours all depart from the Sensory Garden Pavilion. The cost is $5.00 per person and bookings are essential through www.trybooking.com/CCSSZ For more information, contact 0400048006 or glider@ friendsgcrbg.org.au Expanded service for Botanic Gardens Glider GC Botanic Gardens 230 Ashmore Rd, Benowa Local family run Espresso bar with great organic coffee, cold drinks, sweet and savoury food available from the display cabinet.
